Converting point samples and/or triangular meshes to a more compact spline representation for arbitrarily topology is both desirable and necessary for computer vision and computer ...
Constructing splines whose parametric domain is an arbitrary manifold and effectively computing such splines in realworld applications are of fundamental importance in solid and ...
We present a generalization of thin-plate splines for interpolation and approximation of manifold-valued data, and demonstrate its usefulness in computer graphics with several app...

It has been technically challenging to effectively model and simulate elastic deformation of spline-based, thin-shell objects of complicated topology. This is primarily because tra...
